The Silent Killer
Chapter Ten
Part 2
Wednesday – July 22nd - 7:30 PM
By the time Lee had wrapped up things at work, gone home and taken a nice cooling shower, it was going on seven that evening. He pulled the Corvette into Amanda's driveway and slid the transmission into park. Despite the frustrations of the day, he was looking forward to spending a little quality time alone, with his wife.
She greeted him at the door, her hair pulled up in a ponytail and wearing a cute little tank top and shorts.
"Hi ya toots," he told her as he leaned down and kissed her.
"Hello," she told him.
The sound of Amanda's voice immediately raised concerned to Lee.
"You getting a sore throat?" he asked.
Amanda shrugged as she tugged him inside the door.
"My allergies are bothering me," she told him as she took his hand and began leading him to the kitchen.
"Okay, I know the freshman class was a royal pain today, but I didn't realize that they had become horses'."
"Lee," she admonished him before his finished his thought. "And no, for the record I was not anywhere near horses."
"I thought that's all that you were allergic to," he said as they fell into unison putting the plates on the table and getting dinner out.
"Apparently not," Amanda told him as she began pouring iced tea into glasses for them.
"What, no wine?" he asked her.
"Not with the allergy medicine I've been taking."
"Yeah, good idea," he told her.
He watched her as she put the last of the food on the table, taking note of everything from her tanned long legs to the way her shorts fit her cute little bottom. Lee had also taken note of the fact that they had been alone, in the house, for nearly ten minutes and that they both were still dressed.
In fact, Amanda seemed much more focused on dinner than dessert and Lee had to acknowledge that he probably had some major groveling to do.
"Ah, Amanda," he began. "About today."
"We need to talk," she told him at the same time.
"Yeah," Lee agreed.
